AMD Radeon R9 380 2GB CrossFireX Graphics Cards Review

Here at eTeknix, we strive to give the consumer the best possible advice in every aspect of technology. Today is no different, we are extremely keen to bring you the CrossFireX review of the recently released AMD Radeon R9 380 2GB graphics cards. In most consumers minds, the R9 380 2GB is just a rebranded R9 285 with slightly increased specifications and shiny new cooling designs. While this is the case, the matured manufacturing process has allowed AMD to reap every bit of performance from the Tonga GPU and then handed it to sub-vendors and given a boosted overclock.

In the test bench today, we have the ASUS STRIX R9 380 (review available here) and MSI Gaming R9 380 2GB (review coming soon). In the independent reviews, these cards proved that there was still some performance in the aging architecture, but didn’t give us the impression that this would be a viable upgrade option for those already with the R9 280 or R9 285 GPU’s.

We inserted both graphics cards onto our Core i7 5820K and X99-based test system, ensuring adequate spacing for optimum cooling and that both have access to sufficient PCI-e bandwidth for CrossFire operation. Due to the variations in the cards themselves such as power inputs and clock speeds, this isn’t an ideal scenario for CrossFireX; however, both GPU’s have been downclocked to as close as possible to each other to give the best possible results.

Belly Armor’s RadiaShield Men’s Boxer Brief Review

Over the years Legit Reviews has run across a number of companies that are selling products that help protect people from the harmful radiation emitted by cellphones and laptops. Two years ago we did a review on the Defenderpad laptop EMF & Radiation Shield (review) that ended up being rather controversial article as the issue, product effectiveness and high-cost got people talking. Radiation instantly sparks fear in people as we’ve grown up being taught about the dangers, but few realize or think about that laptops and smartphones give off radiation. Meet Belly Armor’s RadiaShield Men’s Boxer Brief.

BIOSTAR GAMING Z97X Motherboard Review

BIOSTAR has arrived to the market with their high-end board a little bit later but not without a lot of improvements like a revamped design, a bonus Gaming Commander box, a solid VRM, USB 3.1 capabilities, a redesigned and easier to use UEFI and more. Through the board features we cannot help but to remind of the superior audio implementation, SATA Express and M.2 support (slot which is hidden under the plastic shroud for a stylish appearance) and good overclocking results.

FSL AL13 Aluminum Earphones Review

There’s an old saying: ‘You get what you pay for’ that usually means that if something is cheap or inexpensive it isn’t that good, but sometimes you can be surprised. Today for review I’ve got a set of earbuds or headphones from a company called FSL or Future Sound Labs that cost less that $15 and I was very pleasantly surprised by just how good they sound and how well they are made. I’ll be honest, for the price, I wasn’t expecting much at all, but these are very good, they sound great and they’re well worth the price and then some. Read on to learn more…

Kingston FCR-HS4 Memory Card Reader Review

One time, my friends and I were sitting through a presentation. When the first person went up, he introduced himself as someone who "worked in the IT industry". Joking, I said I am qualified to work in the IT industry as well, because I know how to use a printer, and upload pictures to Facebook. When the second person went up, he introduced himself as someone who "worked in the oil and gas industry". To follow up on my last assertion, I said I could easily work in the oil and gas industry too, because I know how to pump gas into my car. Now, I am sure those people actually did legitimate work rather than just hooking up a keyboard to a PC or putting fuel into a vehicle, but often times, you can make seemingly unimportant jobs sound more impressive than it really is. One time, I read of a person who claimed they "handled financial transactions" when they worked at an "international multi-billion dollar corporation" on their resume. In reality, they worked as a cashier at McDonald's. On the same note, what do you call a cross-platform, high speed data controller hub that allows universal read/write access to all standard solid state integrated circuit flash storage media? One could simply call it a memory card reader. But regardless of how simple or seemingly unimportant a memory card reader is, anyone who shoots frequently with a digital camera that is not their smartphone will know how inconvenient it is to go without one. Today, we will take a look at the Kingston FCR-HS4, an updated version of the FCR-HS3. For about $20 at press time, what kind of improvements will we see over its predecessor? Aesthetics? Speed? Read on to find out!

NomadClip for GoPro Review

For climbers the carabiner can be the difference between life and death. For the rest of us it serves as multipurpose utility device. It offers a host of numerous uses such as organizing keys, keeping multiple items together such as shopping backs, functioning like a ring to use as a hook plus hundreds of other functions.

Today’s review item takes the carabineer and modifies it for one more bit of functionality. Nomad has created the NomadClip for GoPro which functions as a regular carabiner while also housing a hidden mini USB cable. This carabiner allows the user to charge their GoPro camera or mini USB port enable device such as DSLR cameras.

It is sturdy and rugged designed to be used in most any environment. Clip it onto your bag or backpack and never fret about being in need of a mini USB cable again.
